Pros

Awesome and funny CEO, caring COO, downtown location, young-ish workforce, free food, fun parties, weekly happy hour, generous vacation and sick policy, free parking, European vibe = very good work life balance, rapidly increasing profits

Cons

Low starting pay, meager raises, moody sales VPs, tend to get stuck in entry level positions, not a great place to grow your career if you are just starting out, not much industry training if you are new to it

Pros

1- Coworkers 2- Monthly lunch, breakfast tacos and bagels 3- Recommendation box and office taking the time to respond to those requests. 4- Diversity 5- Chance to learn and work in the Medical Industry. 6- Some managers

Cons

1- Management 2- Project Management Dpt. 3- Management 4- Super underpaid 5- Playing favorites . People they like get to work from home or else good luck getting ahead . 6- NO room for growth. You can change dpt. but the growth charge goes only so far and even in that, they pick people they like. 7- Unable to measure personal success -If you ask your manager to create a written plan on some key points you can work on in order for next promotion, they'll tell you no. Happened to me. So how am I supposed to see my own success and my growth plan? 8- Very quiet. People only talk on Skype. If you're someone who likes to keep to yourself , this is your place. If you're a social person, you're not going to like it here. 9- We don't get paid enough for the amount of work we get. If a person who has not even been here for a month says " I am so overwhelmed", imagine what this place will do to your soul. At least pay us for the amount of work you expect us to do. 10 - REALLY terrible management. They just like to boss you around and tell you " now you're going to do this too" or micromanage the $%&% out to you that you'll cry. It happened. 11 - TURNOVER rate is extremely high. Even the HR told me its an issue. Of course it is because management is TERRIBLE. Within my 1 year here, I saw 5 people leave, out of which 3 left without an opportunity ahead. I can go on, but I hope one gets the idea. If this is your only option, then take it or else I suggest you keep looking for a better opportunity.

Pros

the only two positive things about Emergo are the 23 days of PTO (which includes sick days as well), however, this benefit will eventually disappear in 2019 when Emergo will transfer over to UL's benefits, which are actually worse (but management of course does not openly disclose that) and the flextime

Cons

- very low pay: the amount of work you are expected to handle and the responsibilities that you have certainly is not reflected in the salary (almost impossible to make a living here in Austin) - no incentives, bonuses or noteworthy raises for a job well done, instead they dump even more work on you (without a warning) - there have been profound changes going on on a weekly basis, most of these changes will have people struggle even more with their ever-increasing workload - if you are not into kissing butts you won't make it far - management LOVES to sugarcoat questionable decisions when in fact everyone knows that the outcome is a setback - they are slowly taking away everything that was good about this company - favoritism reigns
